A Taste of Place has long been at the heart of wine’s most compelling stories. In this issue of ASI Magazine we turn our attention to Portugal, a country whose rich mosaic of indigenous varietals and diverse terroirs continues to captivate sommeliers and wine lovers worldwide. From the granite soils of Vinho Verde to the sun-drenched plains of Alentejo and the windswept islands of the Azores and Madeira, Portugal’s vineyards are a living expression of history, climate, and culture.

We are honoured to share with your our interview between ASI Magazine editor Mark DeWolf and Frederico Falcão, President of the Board of ViniPortugal. In this insightful interview Falcão offers his thoughts on how the nation is embracing both tradition and innovation to showcase its unique wines on the global stage.
